Mr. Speaker, that is the most ridiculous spin I have heard yet in the House of Commons.
My question is for the Minister of Canadian Heritage. The government's ad hoc approach to cultural competition cannot continue. Eventually the Liberals will have to get off the fence. The CBC is in disarray for the lack of a cultural policy. The Canada Council is in disarray for the lack of a cultural policy. We are crawling along the information highway at a snail's pace because of the lack of cultural policy.
What is the holdup? Is the government waiting for the approval of Mr. Goldenberg, Mr. Desmarais or Mr. Bronfman?
I ask again: When will the government release its long awaited cultural policy? We have been waiting for 18 months.
